Removing Break Calipers

[tw..]

I'm have a hard time finding the correct sized socket used to remove the 2 brake caliper mounting bolts. I've tried both metric and standard size sockects. Does anyone know the exact size socket used to remove calipers on a 1998 Expedition 4x4. Fishing seaon is upon us and I need to change the pads and rotors before towing the boat this season.

On my 03, it's an 18mm socket.

EDIT: It seems your front ones are held by two T45 torx for the caliper bolts.

That explains it!!! The bolt in question is an 18mm bolt. I just looked at my socket set and the 18mm socket is not included. I'm off to the parts store for a 18mm socket. Thanks ELAVTO.
